lamp Solutions
LAMP has formed strategic alliances with denominational church leaders to provide risk management consulting in conjunction with a variety of insurance and employee benefits products and services.
From a camp in the mountains to a metropolitan cathedral, the insurance demands of any religious institution are significant. For each, there are risks to manage, assets to protect, funds to invest, and employees whose needs must be met. Delivered through LAMP, the capabilities and financial resources of Lockton offer innovative solutions to our partners. Our dialogue with ministry organizations often leads us to discuss a wide range of needs, which include: • Health/Benefits/Retirement • Property & Casualty • Directors and Officers • Auto • Fiduciary and Crime • Professional Liability • Sexual Misconduct Liability • Special Events • Travel Accident Policies • Kidnap and Ransom • Workers' Compensation (including volunteers) • Evacuation and Political/Economic Instability
Hospitals, Education Institutions, and Foundations
Our mission is to form alliances with religious ministries, based on shared values. This means providing superior service, reducing costs, solving problems creatively, and eliminating the impact of risk on operations and activities. Some of the programs LAMP designs for ministries are: 1. Ministry-owned captive insurance companies 2. Risk retention groups 3. Self-insurance and consumer-driven benefit programs 4. Web-based platforms for non-U.S. employees 5. Specialized loss/claims control
To provide easy access to LAMP resources, an Account Executive is appointed to coordinate our services for each and every client. This will be accomplished with a sense of urgency in an environment of commitment and trust.
Some of the world’s leading health and educational organizations are guided by a religious focus in their mission. LAMP understands the religious components as well as the specialized services required by these complex institutions.
Parachurch Ministries From youth camps to soup kitchens, parachurch leaders must address diverse needs. Since the exposures to risk may be significant, LAMP can truly make a difference by analyzing each ministry’s worldwide exposures and providing recommendations and training to assure the organization has adequate protection.
Suppliers to the Religious Community Religious broadcasting, publishing, and professional services continue to enjoy significant growth. LAMP’s substantial experience in responding to the requirements of these entities provides unequaled knowledge and valuable resources to these vital enterprises.
